A Parallel Multiphase Numerical Modelfor Subsurface Contaminant Transportwith Biodegradation Kinetics
We discuss the formulation of a simulator in three spatial dimensions for two phase groundwater ow and transport with biodegradation kinetics that has been developed at Rice University for massively parallel, distributed memory, message passing machines. The numerical procedures employed are a fully implicit mixed nite element method for ow and a characteristics-mixed method for transport and r...
متن کاملA hybrid method for inverse characterization of subsurface contaminant flux.
The methods presented in this work provide a potential tool for characterizing contaminant source zones in terms of mass flux. The problem was conceptualized by considering contaminant transport through a vertical "flux plane" located between a source zone and a downgradient region where contaminant concentrations were measured. The goal was to develop a robust method capable of providing a sta...
متن کاملDynamic Contaminant Identification in Water
We describe how we plan to convert a traditional data collection sensor and ocean model into a DDDAS enabled system for identifying contaminants and then reacting with different models, simulations, and sensing strategies in a symbiotic manner. The sensor is just as useful in water as it would be on Mars for material identification. A successful terrestrial application of the sensor will lead t...
متن کاملModulation of Staphylococcus aureus spreading by water.
Staphylococcus aureus is known to spread rapidly and form giant colonies on the surface of soft agar and animal tissues by a process called colony spreading. So far, the mechanisms underlying spreading remain poorly understood. This study investigated the spreading phenomenon by culturing S. aureus and its mutant derivatives on Tryptic Soy Agarose (TSA) medium. We found that S. aureus extracts ...
متن کاملEstimating risk of contaminant intrusion in water distribution networks using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence
Intrusion of contaminants into water distribution networks requires the simultaneous presence of three elements; contamination source, pathway and driving force. The existence of each of these elements provides ‘partial’ evidence (typically incomplete and non-specific) to the occurrence of contaminant intrusion into distribution networks. Evidential reasoning, also called Dempster-Shafer (DS) t...
